Maxwell Lewis becomes Nets roster casualty with historic draft class coming in
NY Post
The Nets waived forward Maxwell Lewis on Friday, clearing up roster space after taking the biggest crop of first-round draft picks in NBA history.
Lewis had initially arrived in the Dec. 29 trade that had sent Dorian Finney-Smith to the Lakers, but he immediately fractured his left tibia making a 3-pointer seconds into his New Year’s Day debut.
The injury stunted his opportunity to show what he could do, in the end averaging 5.3 points in 14.2 minutes over just 21 appearances.
But more importantly, Brooklyn had to make room for their huge incoming class of rookies.
The Nets took five players in the first round of Wednesday’s NBA draft, a league record. Two days later, they waived Lewis to clear the deck.
Those first-round picks, along with some other undrafted rookies, will be on display in a couple of weeks when the Nets head to compete in the Las Vegas Summer League.
